pillar, the description of which Mr. Good failed to write prior to 

 pupation. He says: "When ready for its change, it strung 

 together by silken threads little lumps of earth in the jar in which 

 it was feeding, so that it was covered all over with a web of little 

 clods of the size of grains of corn. In these it turned into the 

 chrysalis. It emerged from the chrysalis Nov. 15, 1888." 



11. C. (?) Vilis sp. nov. rj'. — Allied to the preceding, from which it dif- 

 fers, however, totally in color. The antennse, thorax and body, are uni- 

 formly pale gray, with the underside of the body whitish. Upperside: 

 primaries dirty yellowish gray, with the outer margin clouded obscurely 

 with ferruginous. The transverse lines are much as in C. ogovejtsis, but 

 less sharply defined. The secondaries are uniformly pale creamy-white. 

 Underside: both primaries and secondaries creamy-white, with the outer 

 extremities of the nervules shaded with pale brown. Expanse 40 mm. 



Hab. — Kangwe, West Africa.

 LEPASTA Moschl. 



12. L. africana sp. nov. (^. — Front, antennae and collar, dark brown; 

 patagia creamy- white, tipped with dark brown; body and legs dark brown. 

 Upperside: primaries, with the base and a narrow streak on the costa 

 from the base to the middle of the costa, dark brown. This line is fol- 

 lowed by a broad, silvery-white line running from the inner margin before 

 the base parallel to the costa, and terminating upon it before the apex. 

 The entire wing beyond this silvery-white line is brown, interrupted by a 

 marginal silvery line succeeded inwardly by a similar submarginal silvery 

 line, which runs from before the apex to the first median nervule, and 

 then sweeps inwardly and upwardly toward the cell, widening gradually 

 and terminating abruptly near the origin of the first median nervule. 

 Within the curved line there is another V-shaped silvery line reversed 

 toward the outer curve, the lower limb narrow and following the line from 

 the third median nervule, and the upper limb widening toward the outer 

 margin and following the line from the first radial. The secondaries are 

 uniformly fuscous in the type. Another specimen in my possession has 

 the secondaries creamy-white; otherwise, it does not differ from the type. 

 The underside of the wings is obscure fuscous, or whitish, with the mark- 

 ings of the upper surface reappearing very faintly. Expanse 26-33 f^m-

 STIBOLEPIS Butl. 



13. S. abluta sp. nov. c^.— Allied to 6". nivea Butl. Wings silvery-white, 

 slightly clouded on the upper surface with pale gray along the costa and 

 the outer margin. The costa is fiirther marked by six incomplete, trans- 

 verse, black bands, followed before the apex by a transverse series of
